This book redefines the relationship between Marxism and history.
At its roots, Marxism was aimed at analyzing society in order to
change it, reflecting on the past to create the 'poetry of the
future.' No single event of the past was as important to early
Marxists as the French Revolution of 1789. Studying the varying
uses of the history of that past event among Karl Marx, Friedrich
Engels, and prominent European Marxists before 1914 (Karl Kautsky,
V.I. Lenin, and others), this book argues that we should take the
historiography of concrete past events seriously. It was not only
an auxiliary element of Marxism, but a core constitutive element in
its formation. Thus, this book calls for transcending traditional
approaches to Marxism as a fixed set of social theories combined
with strategies for the present and future. Important to students
of Marxism, the labor movement, and the French Revolution alike,
this study contains refreshing perspectives on the interplay
between past, present, and future and on the role of states, social
classes, socio-economic determination, and political organization
in history.
